An Immense World explores the diverse and often vastly different ways that animals perceive their environments, highlighting the unique sensory experiences that shape their realities. The book delves into the concept of the ‘umwelt’, a term coined by Jakob von Uexkull, which refers to the specific sensory world of each species. Yong uses this framework to showcase how animals experience the world through senses we may not even be aware of, such as enhanced smell, different light spectrums, and even the ability to sense electrical fields. Click here to register.
